Short Bio Mario Giampietro works on integrated assessment of sustainability. Using innovative concepts derived from Complex Systems Theory (multi-purpose grammars, impredicative loop analysis, Sudoku effects), he developed an innovative scientific approach - Multi-Scale Integrated Analysis of Societal and Ecosystem Metabolism (MuSIASEM) - that can be used to integrate different narratives used in quantitative analysis. This approach makes it possible to generate quantitative representations of the viability and desirability of the metabolic pattern of modern societies using simultaneously technical, economic, demographic, social and ecological variables defined on different hierarchical levels and scales.
